Telephony's Inside Telecom Live:
The Economics of FTTx

As telecom service providers deploy fiber access networks, optical access technologies ride a downward cost curve that improves the overall economic picture of these efforts. Join Telephony's Ed Gubbins and Colin Dixon, Senior Consultant for The Diffusion Group, as they analyze the current state of FTTx economics, analyze the reasons behind the cost differences of various approaches, and identify factors that will both trim costs further and bolster carriers' return on investment. Among the topics to be covered in the webcast are:

  • How do economics differ among different FTTx technologies?
  • How do the economics differ among different deployment scenarios, such as single-family homes vs. multi-dwelling units?
  • Factors that simplify the cost of installation and maintenance, including CPE.
  • The service provider objectives, including selling higher levels of service for applications over FTTx, that can impact the economic picture and help cost-justify deployment.
  • How passive optical networks (PONs) and other technologies affect opex.
  • What obstacles remain to improving FTTx economics?
  • What are the cost implications of Greenfield deployments versus overbuilds?
  • What role does multi-vendor equipment interoperability play in FTTx economics?
  • What access technologies may lie ahead (e.g., 10G WDM, WDM PON), and what is their current status?
